Travels 2016: Chiang Mai
We boarded a night train from the busy Bangkok central train station, unsure of what to expect but imagining the worst. Thankfully, our night train experience was whole lot better than we could have possibly dreamed and we arrived twelve hours later in Chiang Mai, the second largest city in Thailand. I have to point […]
Travels 2016: Bangkok
Sawadika! Welcome to the first instalment of my posts about my three month travels around South East Asia, Australia and New Zealand. It’s so exciting to finally be writing about it after so many months of planning! To try and describe this wonderful city in one word is a bit difficult. It’s simultaneously old and new, […]
Travels 2016
To say that I’m excited might be an understatement. To say that I haven’t quite processed it all might also be true. But in four days I will be setting sail for the other side of the world for three months- to Thailand, Laos, Vietnam, Malaysia, Bali, Australia & New Zealand – and I don’t […]
Review: Eat, Pray, Love, Elizabeth Gilbert
It’s 3 a.m. and Elizabeth Gilbert is sobbing on the bathroom floor. She’s in her thirties, she has a husband, a house, they’re trying for a baby – and she doesn’t want any of it. A bitter divorce and a turbulent love affair later, she emerges battered and bewildered and realises it is time to […]
A Day in Brighton
Can we just talk about how amazing Brighton is? It’s like a magical land somewhere at the bottom of the country which doesn’t feel like it even belongs with the rest of the UK. The weather was warm, I had a Saturday off and I was with my favourite travel buddy. We wandered along the beach and […]
Manchmal Träum’ Ich Nur Von Dir
After having panic-bought flights as soon as I had arrived back in the UK, returning to Germany two months later was somewhat of a surreal experience. I had to take two weeks off from my new job with raised eyebrows of you were just there for seven months, why are you going back? And it was a good […]
Think Good Things And You Will Always Look Lovely
Or, Catch Up Chats in Cheltenham. In which Beth returns to this beautiful town to visit a friend. For all of you dedicated fans, and I know you’re out there…somewhere, you may remember that I went to the Cheltenham Literature Festival a couple of years ago where I duly fangirled over my favourite author, Patrick […]
Poetry Corner | Poem #4
Because even when I’m somewhere I love, I can’t stop thinking about somewhere else. That’s the blessing and the curse of feeling at home everywhere and nowhere.
Carrying Home With Me
I’ve been thinking a lot lately about the idea of home, and I guess that I had a kind of epiphany. Let’s set the scene, shall we? It’s about half past 6 in the evening and I’m on a bus on the way back from Prague to Dresden. I’m returning from a wonderful couple of […]
Falling in Love with Prague
So I think this one will be short on words, but long in pictures. My trip to Prague was perhaps the least planned and organised one yet, and I can’t pretend that I wasn’t a little stressed out just before (“What currency do they even have in the Czech Republic?!”). Honestly, however, I fell in […]
